Introduction: When a fluid flowing at supersonic velocity passes over a convex corner of the surface, it produces a discontinuity in flow properties which is called the expansion fan. The fluid is flowing at so high speed that it tries to not follow the surface curve and break off. It is not possible for the flow to separate…

Introduction: Vortex shadding: vortex shedding is an oscillating flow that takes place when a fluid such as air or water flows past a bluff (as opposed to streamlined) body at certain velocities, depending on the size and shape of the body. In this flow, vortices are created at the back of the body…
